Hello, everybody. Welcome to Three Point Perspective. The podcast about illustration, how to do it,

how to make a living at it, and how to make an impact in the world with your art. I'm Jake Parker.

I'm Samantha Carterill. And I am David Hohn. All three of us are professional illustrators,

and for the last 25 years have worked with

every major publisher and publication in the biz.

Between us, we published over 50 books and we've all taught illustration at the university

level.

Each week we tackle a subject related to illustration from three perspectives.

Sometimes we agree, sometimes we argue, but every time you learn

something, brand spanking new. All right. I wanted to talk about this question we got, and I think

this is going to lead to a overall bigger discussion. And yes, it's about AI. Bring it on.

I have a take that I haven't heard yet.

So here we go. This comes in from Christy. She says, I was recently, I don't know what this means, but co-sotering a career in illustration. Considering. Oh. Yeah, that's it.

There's an end missing.

I literally Googled it.

What is co-soldering a career?

Okay.

I was recently considering a career in illustration.

A coworker of mine happened to be writing a children's book.

She used chat GPT for all of her illustrations.

So, no need to pay an illustrator.

Is this the new way?
